Council prioritises value, voice and community

he direction, Strong voice: Value in every dollar: Enabling community success, guides development of Council’s 2027– 2037 Long-term Plan. It provides a framework for decisions about services, investment, affordability and the trade-offs that may be required, was adopted today (Thursday 1 October 2026). The strategic direction was set by elected members to help decide which services and investments matter most, what the district can afford and where trade-offs may be needed, Central Hawke’s Bay Mayor Will Foley said. “At the heart of this is a simple commitment to make sure every dollar is working hard for Central Hawke’s Bay. We spent a lot of time discussing this, taking on board what we have heard from our community and what they want and need for the future of the district. This sets the tone for the development of the 20272037 Long-term Plan, helping guide decisions over the next decade. “It also reﬂects the change in priorities our community asked for and voted for at the last local election. Our elected members were given a clear mandate to focus on affordability, value for money, strong representation and enabling

community success, and this direction is our response.” The strategic direction strongly aligns with the newly amended purpose of local government. “It provides a clear framework for making decisions about services, investment and the trade-offs that may be required in the years ahead,” Foley said. “Council cannot afford to do everything itself, and that’s not necessarily our role. Affordability must come ﬁrst, and that means being honest about what our community can afford, making clear choices about priorities and acknowledging that investing more in one area may mean doing less in another. By focusing Council’s resources where they will make the greatest difference—and working alongside our communities, businesses, Māori, community groups and volunteers— we can support local ideas, strengthen our district and achieve more together than Council could deliver alone.” The strategic direction has four

outcomes: • Affordability: Rates, fees and charges are affordable, and Council decisions are fair and provide value for current and future communities. • Effective and innovative service delivery: Council delivers ﬁt-forpurpose services and infrastructure that provide value for money, supported by clear and transparent decisions about costs and tradeoffs. • Voice, representation and identity: The community’s voice is heard, the district’s identity remains strong, and Central Hawke’s Bay is advocated for and represented in decisions that affect it. • Enabling: Council supports community aspirations, including innovation, investment, business development and job growth. The community will be able to give feedback on the proposed choices and priorities from March to mid-April 2027 during the Long-term Plan 20272037 consultation.

Get stuck in for the final time!

he Flemington Mud Run 2026 promises to be one of the most exciting and community-spirited events on the Central Hawke’s Bay calendar. Scheduled for Sunday, 22 November 2026, the Mud Run will be held at Lake Station, near Wanstead. This year marks a special milestone as the 13th and final Flemington Mud Run. The much-loved annual mudfilled extravaganza has been a vital fundraiser for Flemington School, affectionately known as the “best little school” in the region. Participants can choose from three course lengths - 2.5km, 5km, and 10km. Each is designed to challenge runners with a variety of 32 muddy obstacles, slippery slopes, and splash zones. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or simply keen for a memorable day out with friends and family, the Mud Run caters to all levels of fitness and enthusiasm. Children under seven must be accompanied by an adult, ensuring a safe and inclusive environment for even the youngest adventurers. Teams and families are encouraged to dress up, with prizes awarded for the best child, adult and team costumes. The atmosphere is all about fun, with laughter echoing across the fields as participants slide, crawl and sprint through the mud. It’s not about finishing first - it’s about

making memories, getting muddy and supporting a great cause. Lake Station, the venue for the Mud Run, offers a picturesque rural backdrop that contrasts beautifully with the chaos of the course. Hayley and Andy Barrett have generously hosted the event on their property for more than a decade. The final Mud Run is expected to attract a crowd of more than 600 participants, with many returning to celebrate the event one last time and help raise funds for the school. The school will have food for sale and a coffee cart on site, both always appreciated by participants on the day. A “refreshing” shower at the finish helps runners blast away their muddy layer, although entrants will need to bring their own towel. The day is topped off with a flyover aerial lolly scramble by Rural Air Work, a long-standing highlight that sees excited youngsters racing across the polo field in search of sweet treats. Funds raised from the Mud Run go directly to Flemington School, helping support learning assistants, camp costs and classroom resources, to name just a few. There is also an impressive range of online auctions running before the event, available through the www. 32auctions platform. The event is a testament to the strong bond between the school and its surrounding community, showcasing how sport, fun and local support can come together for a meaningful purpose. As the curtain comes down on the 13th and final Mud Run, organisers hope the community will rally behind the event and help make it the biggest farewell yet. The committee would like to thank its amazing sponsors for their ongoing support. Their generous contributions

Making every trap count

12-year-old Takapau student has removed 27 predators from Waipukurau’s Forest of Memories, in a project showing what can be achieved when local community organisations work together. As part of his community service for the CHB William Pike Challenge, Luca Ormond borrowed 12 DOC 200 traps from the Tukituki Land Care Trap Library and spent six months trapping at the Forest of Memories. Over 13 hours of community service, Luca regularly checked and rebaited the traps, with help from his dad, catching 21 rats, ﬁve weasels and one hedgehog. “I was surprised by how much we caught, especially the number of rats,” Luca said. “It was good knowing that every pest we caught was helping the birds and other wildlife in the forest.” The project brought together three Central Hawke’s Bay community organisations. Tukituki Land Care supplied the traps through its free

Trap Library, Luca’s involvement with the CHB William Pike Challenge encouraged him to think creatively about how he could contribute meaningful community service, and the Rotary Club of Waipukurau supported his trapping efforts in the Forest of Memories, which it has managed for more than 30 years. Tukituki Land Care Catchment Lead Michelle Goodman said the project was a great example of why the Trap Library was established. “We want to make it easy for people in our rural communities to have a go at trapping without having to invest in traps themselves. It’s fantastic to see Luca using them in a community space like the Forest of Memories, and 27 predators in six months shows what a real difference even one person can make.” Located at the base of Pukeora Scenic Road, the Forest of Memories is a 10-hectare memorial arboretum owned and cared for by the Rotary

Club of Waipukurau. The ﬁrst trees were planted in 1993 and its network of tracks and bridges now winds through mature and newly planted trees, many accompanied by plaques placed in memory of local people. Controlling introduced predators such as rats and weasels is important because they prey on native birds, eggs, chicks, lizards and invertebrates. Regular trapping helps reduce predator numbers and gives native wildlife a better chance to thrive. The William Pike Challenge

encourages young people to contribute to their communities through service, alongside outdoor activities and personal development. For Luca, trapping provided a practical way to give something back to a place enjoyed by the wider community. After six months of checking and rebaiting traps, Luca’s 13 hours of community service had a clear result: 27 fewer predators in the Forest of Memories, and a little more breathing room for the native wildlife that calls it home.

Beyond the Canvas: expanding creative horizons

or many students enrolling in EIT’s Level 3 Art and Design course in Waipukurau, the journey began with a simple idea of what being an artist might involve. By the end of the programme, many had discovered that contemporary art and design offers a far broader

and more exciting creative landscape. The free 17-week course introduces students to a range of artistic disciplines while encouraging experimentation, personal expression and creative conﬁdence. Rather than focusing solely on traditional

painting techniques, students are challenged to explore different materials, processes and creative approaches, gaining a wider understanding of creative practice. Tutor Beck Wheeler says one of the most rewarding aspects of the programme is watching students expand their understanding of art. “Many students began the course expecting to focus primarily on painting, but have since explored a diverse range of materials, techniques and creative approaches,” she says. Throughout the programme, students develop practical skills while learning to communicate ideas visually. They are encouraged to move beyond their comfort zones, experimenting with mixed media, design concepts and contemporary art practices. In doing so, many discover creative strengths and interests they had never previously considered. The course also helps students develop valuable digital literacy skills. Students document their learning through a creative digital journal, building confidence with technology while refining their art and design practice. One of the highlights is the Digital Dialogues project, where students write, illustrate and design their own book before it is professionally printed. The project allows them to combine creativity, storytelling and design skills while producing a finished publication they can be proud of. Personal growth is another key focus. Whether students are returning to education, exploring art for the first time or seeking a

pathway into further study, they are encouraged to develop confidence in their abilities. Problem-solving, critical thinking and creative exploration are treated as equally important as technical skills. Beyond the artworks, students learn to trust their instincts, refine ideas and embrace creative risks. The result is not only a collection of finished pieces but also a stronger understanding of their own creative potential and artistic voice. Importantly, the programme provides a pathway to further study. Graduates can continue through EIT’s art and design programmes, building on the skills, knowledge and confidence gained during the course. For some, it marks the beginning of a creative career, while for others it provides an opportunity to pursue a lifelong passion. The programme culminated in Beyond the Canvas, an exhibition held at the Central Hawke’s Bay Museum in June and July. The showcase celebrated the creativity, experimentation and growth demonstrated throughout the course while giving the wider community an opportunity to appreciate the talent being nurtured through EIT’s art and design programmes. The Level 3 Certificate in Art and Design will be offered again at EIT’s Waipukurau campus in 2027. Information sessions for prospective students will be held ahead of enrolments.

URGENT PLEA: Ruahine Animal Rescue needs more foster families!

Getty Image

ould you open your home and your heart to a cat, kitten, dog or puppy in need? Ruahine Animal Rescue (RAR) is making an urgent appeal to the Central Hawke’s Bay community for more foster families, particularly those willing to care for dogs and puppies. With the rescue working through the challenges of securing a new home, foster families have never been more important in helping animals find safety, care and, ultimately, their forever homes. RAR is still operating and remains committed to rescuing and rehoming animals, although the number it can take in is being reduced until new premises are secured. This makes the support of the community more crucial than ever. The rescue is currently in consultation with the council about the possibility of utilising the old St John’s building in Waipawa. RAR is hopeful that this could provide a place to continue its cat rescue and rehoming work. Unfortunately, the building would not be suitable for housing dogs, making the need for dog and puppy foster homes especially urgent. Fostering really can save lives By opening your home temporarily to an animal in need, you provide more than just a roof over its head. You offer a safe, loving environment where an animal can recover, grow in confidence and experience the comfort of family life while waiting for its permanent home. For puppies and kittens, a foster home provides valuable opportunities for socialisation, helping them develop into confident, well-adjusted pets. For older animals, it can mean a warm bed,

companionship and a chance to show their true personalities away from the stress of a shelter environment. Fostering can also be incredibly rewarding for people. It offers the joy of caring for an animal without making a lifelong commitment, and it is a wonderful way for families to teach children compassion, kindness and responsibility. Watching a frightened or unsettled animal blossom into a happy, trusting companion can be an experience that stays with you long after they have been adopted. You do not need to be an animal expert to make a difference. A spare room, a secure yard or simply a little space in your home could be exactly what an animal needs. If you have been thinking about fostering, now is the time to get in touch with RAR and find out how you can help. Four animals are waiting for their forever homes There is some good news for those considering adoption. RAR currently has just two cats and two dogs left in the shelter, all hoping to find loving homes. If you are considering adding a fourlegged friend to your family, please take a look at the animals available for adoption on the Ruahine Animal Rescue website and social media pages. You might just find your perfect companion waiting for you. With kitten season fast approaching, securing suitable premises in the very near future is a priority. The rescue needs to be ready to help the inevitable influx of cats and kittens requiring care, shelter and rehoming. Without enough space and foster homes, RAR’s ability to help animals when they need it most will remain limited.

Celebrating suffrage B usiness and Professional Women Central Hawkes Bay (BPW CHB) celebrated the 133rd anniversary of New Zealand women gaining the right to vote with a Camelia High Tea at the Waipukurau Golf Club on Sunday, September 20th. Thirty-five local women enjoyed a delicious high tea and listened to guest speaker Rachel Kingi, principal of Te Aute College. The guests wore purple, the colour adopted by the suffragette movement and white camelias were there as the symbol of the New Zealand suffrage movement. Mrs Kingi (Ngāti Kahungunu), who is the first woman to become principal at the all-boys Te Aute College, delivered an inspiring talk drawing together the themes of education and leadership as she described her journey to her current position. When she finished school, she had no thoughts of becoming

a teacher, she tried many jobs from Watties to the freezer works, then encouraged by friends she joined a course to teach te reo and one thing led to another: several years at The Terraces in Waipukurau, then Ōtāne School and now she leads Te Aute College. She cited the importance of Manaakitanga, and holding the door open for those coming after you. Among her role models were her mother, ‘Miss Kingi’ (Dame Georgina Kingi – no relation) and her friends and whanau. The Camelia High Tea was a fund raiser for BPW CHB 2nd Chance Scholarship. The scholarship is available for mature women of CHB returning to further education. BPW CHB: Women supporting Women Working together for equity, support and a brighter future for all women.

Millers return to their roots

ore than a century after the Miller Family first established roots in Central Hawke’s Bay, descendants from across New Zealand and Australia gathered in Waipukurau over Labour Weekend to celebrate their heritage and reconnect across four generations. Around 60 family members attended the 10th Miller Family Reunion at Pukeora, continuing a tradition of gatherings held every three years since the late 1990’s. The family’s story stretches back over 250 years to the Wigan coalfields, Lancashire, England, where all were coal miners. Family Historian, Margaret Cudby (nee Miller) has traced the family line back to William Miller, christened in 1768. The family’s New Zealand connection began with John Miller, Margaret’s great grandfather, who first travelled to Springfield, Illinois, in the United States to work as a coal mining “sapper” digging tunnels as the industry expanded. John Thomas Miller was born in 1871. The family returned to England before emigrating to New Zealand aboard the “Waitara”, arriving in Napier in December 1876. Central Hawkes Bay soon became home. John Thomas Miller married Waipawa born Elizabeth (Bessie) Pellow at St Peter’s Church in Waipawa in 1901. Their son, Jack Miller, was born in Waipawa in 1913 and followed his father into the plumbing trade. Jack Miller married Win Dixon and they had seven children. Many descendants attended local schools, including Waipukurau Primary School and Central Hawke’s Bay College. Several

family members were born in the district’s maternity homes. Although family members eventually spread throughout New Zealand and Australia connections remained strong. Following the sudden death of family member Gaye Miller in 1995, relatives began organising regular reunions to maintain those bonds and preserve family history. The ﬁrst reunion was held in Blenheim in 1997, followed by gatherings in Kati Kati, Havelock North, Pirongia, Waihi Beach, Ashhurst and Puriri near Thames. This year’s reunion marked a return to Central Hawkes Bay, where much of the family’s New Zealand story unfolded. Organised by Sue Baty, the weekend combined remembrance, genealogy and social activities. One of the most meaningful moments was the planting of two trees in the Pukeora Forest of Memories in honour of family members, Jean and David, who passed away last year. Margaret, Jack, Alwyn and Lyn are the surviving children of Jack and Win Miller. Attendees also enjoyed a family quiz night, outdoor games, a musical evening and a presentation exploring the family’s ancestry. Many took the opportunity to revisit schools, neighbourhoods and landmarks that played important roles in their lives. For those who attended, the reunion it was a chance to celebrate relationships that have endured despite time and distance.
